Debuting in early 2026, Standout – the film tells the inspiring story of Ben Kjar, born with Crouzon Syndrome, a rare craniofacial disorder. From birth, doctors warned that his life would be dominated by limitations, bullying and harsh scrutiny. Despite that prognosis, Ben yearned for an ordinary life free from judgment and harassment.

However, each experience of adversity, including relentless bullying and a series of painful surgeries, ignited a fire within him. Wrestling became his proving ground, a place where he learned to transform his facial difference into a source of power. Determined to succeed, he pushed himself relentlessly, breaking through physical, social, and even romantic barriers that once seemed insurmountable.

But as unexpected challenges arose and ridicule resurfaced, Ben found himself at a defining crossroads: fade into the background of a “normal” life, or fully embrace his difference and boldly stand out.

After 10 years of marriage, Ben and his wonderful wife, LaCol, tried over and over to raise a family of their own without success.  Eventually they went the IVF route (4 unsuccessful rounds) and then adoption. After two failed adoptions, they finally got the opportunity to start their family. Watch the incredible heart wrenching story of how, through perseverance and an unbreakable mindset, Ben and LaCol were able to start the family of their dreams.
